Temp Employee gets a wake-up call

So for about the last month I had been out on a temporary assignment which was supposed to continue through the end of December. This is how my day went yesterday: I get a phone call from my agency at about 7:30 am telling me that I've been fired from my current assignment. What the f**k?! The first story was that there was a personal conflict of interests. What is that supposed to mean? So I asked my agent to find out more specifically what happened.
A few hours go by, and I go meet with my agent. Oh and it gets better- now there's a new story. This company said I got fired because of being consistently late to work. Consistently. This is complete news to me. Now to be fair I was late to work one time, by an entire 5 minutes.
And they told the agency I was consistently 15 minutes late. So I got to have a lovely conversation with my agent about punctuality. I didn't really mind so much losing this job as it was pretty boring, but to outright lie to my agency is just plain mean. It's bad enough being fired a week before Christmas.
What pisses me off is that these people didn't have the balls to fire me in person, just to flat out say we're getting rid of you because we don't like you. Merry Christmas and thanks for covering our ass the last month, don't come back.

I'm sorry to hear about this. It's obvious that the company was only using you, and they hurt your professional image by lying about you. There's not really much that you can do, but just know that karma is an awesome force. It will come back to them. What comes around, goes around...
